PhD in E-Research and Technology Enhanced Learning

Join our part-time Doctoral Programme in E-Research and Technology Enhanced Learning to carry out your own research and achieve a PhD. (Undertaken over a minimum of four years).

We have designed this programme for anyone in the world who wants to develop their research practice in this area. Although you will mainly learn online, you will also benefit from two short face-to-face residential meetings (one in the first year and one in the second year) where you will get to know your tutors and fellow students, and take part in a range of interactive sessions. These are valuable core elements of the programme.

Key information

The programme is purpose-built for professionals responsible for educating or training others in any sector. You will want to study to an advanced level and carry out a piece of research of the highest possible standard in an aspect of your professional practice. We have been running this pioneering programme for 15 years and have had students from a whole spectrum of backgrounds - from computing to law, nursing to higher education. We have found it is very relevant for people wanting to develop distance or blended learning in programmes they manage.

Whatever your background, you will be eager to work towards a PhD and focus on researching educational uses and practices of technology enhanced learning in educational settings and sectors. You’ll finish the programme with new insights, new opportunities, and new career possibilities.

Meet some of our Alumni on the Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning People webpages.

This is not an online version of an existing programme. Our programme was developed as an online programme for part-time professionals who will be studying mainly at a distance. You will be part of a cohort which means you’ll join our online learning community, receiving ongoing feedback from tutors and other students.

We have designed a two-year structured set of modules which introduce research themes in educational uses and practices of technology enhanced learning.

You will decide the focus of your research, but we will be here to advise you every step of the way. For example, past students have researched the use of a virtual learning environment for legal training, technology to assist the elderly at home, and the use of Twitter for early career researchers.

‘Technology enhanced learning' (TEL) encompasses all uses of information and communications technologies in learning and teaching. It is also sometimes referred to as 'e-learning', 'online learning' and 'advanced learning technology'. Many other terms are used around the world to describe this quickly growing and highly impactful phenomenon.

Our programme focuses on 'networked learning' – connections within an online learning community on the Internet. Joining us, you will explore human aspects of technology in learning, the values underpinning the use of technology, and how technology and learning shape each other.

E-Research is an emerging field which involves applying advanced technologies to existing research methods and approaches. Our programme examines trends in this field and explores how to use technologies for research into technology enhanced learning.

E-Research aims to advance and augment rather than replace traditional research methodologies. Improving knowledge in this area helps researchers perform research more creatively, efficiently and collaboratively across long distances, and share their research outcomes.

Although you will join us predominantly online, the residentials are compulsory, and they are an important part of your study. There are two four-day residential meetings in Part One of the programme, one in the first year and another in the second.

You will join us on campus in Lancaster to get to know your tutors and meet other students. At the same time, we will introduce you to wider thinking about e-Research and TEL research, as well as discussing modules, the virtual learning platform and associated technologies.

The first year residential dates for our 2025 intake are 31st March - 3rd April, 2025 The second year residential dates for our 2025 intake are still to be confirmed

The first year residential dates for our 2024 intake are 8th - 11th April 2024 The second year residential dates for our 2024 intake are 1st - 4th April 2025

Learning sciences and technologies, doctor of philosophy (ph.d.), you are here, a doctoral program emphasizing research and innovation in education through technology, data, and curriculum design..

The Ph.D. program in Learning Sciences and Technologies is designed to build and study the learning technologies of tomorrow, to analyze large-scale educational data, to develop expertise in learning analytics, and to develop cutting-edge curricula and learning materials.

What Sets Us Apart

About the program.

The program is designed to draw together course work, research apprenticeship, and other professional academic activities to build a comprehensive learning experience that is tailored to students’ interests and needs.

Fall: 3; Spring: 3

Culminating experience Dissertation

Coursework and research experiences in the Learning Sciences and Technologies program address a range of practice-based and theoretical problems in schools, in online learning, and in community settings. Coursework and research experiences consider learning in its full richness and context, using sociocultural, cognitive, and psychological perspectives. Taking an interdisciplinary stance, faculty and students explore how to enhance learning, motivation, and engagement, for the world's diversity of learners, in a range of formal, informal, and online educational settings. Our graduate students study learning in traditional contexts using new technological approaches, and they study new and emerging pedagogies for learning such as constructionist environments, simulations, massive online open courses, serious games, and intelligent tutoring systems. Because of the significance we attach to the building of knowledge from experiences as educators and educational designers, we expect most students to have, on admission to the program, either teaching/instructional experiences (in or outside of school settings), educational design/development experience, or experience as a learning analytics practitioner. Students will build a program of study that includes courses in teaching and learning, social foundations, and research methods. Students in the program participate in field-based research and collaborative projects with practitioners in schools or other educational settings, and/or work with large-scale educational data sets. Students learn not only from a rigorous program of study, but also from active participation in a community of learners including practicing and prospective teachers, and educational designers and researchers.

The Ph.D. in Learning Sciences and Technologies focuses on the preparation of researchers and researcher/developers in education. The program includes formal courses, mentored research, and informal seminars. Ph.D. students are required to hold a master’s degree prior to beginning the Ph.D. program, and are expected to have experience in educational practice. You will build a program of study that includes courses in teaching and learning, social foundations, and research methods. The program is designed to draw together coursework, research apprenticeship, and other professional academic activities to build a complete professional program that is tailored to your interests and needs.

Stephanie C. Mavis, M.D., M.H.P.E.

Stephanie C. Mavis, M.D., is a neonatologist engaged in medical education research related to mastery learning, technology-enhanced curriculum development, and implicit bias and health disparities.

Focus areas

• Mastery learning. Mastery learning paradigms are increasingly used to promote competency-based medical education in graduate medical education. Dr. Mavis and her team study and develop mastery learning curricula in areas such as teleneonatology and neonatal medicine procedural training.
• Technology-enhanced education. Technology-enhanced education involves the use of modern learning technologies to improve learner experiences and outcomes. Dr. Mavis and her team study the effects of technology-enhanced education design for invasive mechanical ventilation education for resident physicians and others.
• Implicit bias education. Implicit biases are judgments formed below the level of consciousness. They are ubiquitous among education learners and health professionals and have been linked to ongoing health disparities. Dr. Mavis led a national collaboration of educators studying implicit bias in students in the health professions, and she is actively collaborating on a neonatal medicine curriculum on implicit bias and its contribution to health disparities.

Significance to patient care

Competency remains the main goal of graduate medical education. Dr. Mavis' research focuses on developing effective and efficient strategies to improve physician knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors, ultimately translating to improvements in patient care and outcomes.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are licensed to provide everyone the access to engage with them in several manners, such as adapting and reusing it. This work aims at developing an OER to support PhD candidates’ learning of research methods in Technology-enhanced Learning (TEL) as part of the Doctoral Education in Technology-enhanced Learning (DE-TEL) project. A survey was conducted by the DE-TEL project to collect information on the practices and challenges of doctoral education in TEL and to find out the topics that are relevant to the area but have few educational materials available. Preliminary results reveal that 103 PhD candidates from 25 different countries answered the survey. The main topic of their research in TEL is computing or information technology applied to learning, and the most relevant research method is design-based research. For this reason, a prototype of the OER module about design-based research is being designed and developed first. This paper presents the first outline of the prototype using the H5P tool, an open source and free to use tool that enables authors to create, share and reuse interactive HTML5 content, without the need for any technical skills. Then, this module is going to be piloted and evaluated by PhD candidates, so that the complete OER can be planned and created, encompassing the most relevant research methods to doctoral programs in TEL.

RIT graduate pursues Ph.D. across time zones

Nastaran Nagshineh, center, defended her Ph.D. thesis at RIT in April. Faculty from RIT’s Rochester and Dubai campuses served on her thesis committee and include, from left to right, Kathleen Lamkin-Kennard, Steven Weinstein, Nathaniel Barlow, and David Kofke (a professor at the University at Buffalo). Mohamed Samaha participated remotely and appears on the video screen behind the group and alongside Nagshineh’s picture.

Nastaran Nagshineh is one of the first Ph.D. candidates to bridge RIT’s Rochester and Dubai campuses. Her accomplishment creates a path for future students at the university’s international campuses.

Nagshineh completed her Ph.D. in mathematical modeling while working full time as a mathematics lecturer at RIT Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, teaching as many as five classes a semester. She described her Ph.D. journey as “an exercise in perseverance” due to competing demands and long days. Rochester is eight hours behind Dubai, and the time difference meant many late-night classes and meetings.

“I saw this collaboration as an opportunity, rather than as a challenge, because my primary adviser, Dr. Steven Weinstein (RIT professor of chemical engineering), and my co-adviser, Dr. Mohamed Samaha (RIT Dubai associate professor of mechanical engineering), both have the same area of research interest,” she said. “They both worked toward my success.”

Nagshineh is one of 67 RIT Ph.D. students who defended their thesis this academic year and who will earn their doctorate. RIT awarded 63 Ph.D. degrees in 2023.

In 2020-2021, RIT’s Graduate School met and surpassed the university’s goal of conferring 50 Ph.D. degrees during an academic year. That number will continue to grow as students cycle through the seven new Ph.D. programs that RIT has added since 2017, said Diane Slusarski , dean of RIT’s Graduate School.

Meeting these goals puts RIT on a path toward achieving an “R1,” or research-intensive designation, from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Learning. RIT is currently ranked as an R2 institution . Many factors go into changing a university’s status, including research investment and maintaining a three-year average of 70 Ph.D. degrees awarded per year, according to Slusarski.

“We have met the goals of the strategic plan, and now we look forward to contributing to the research innovation in the future,” Slusarski said. “We want to help the new programs thrive and win national research awards.”

RIT’s emphasis on high-level research is seen in Nagshineh’s Ph.D. work. She applies mathematical modeling to the field of fluid dynamics. Her research has been published in top-tier journals and has gained notice, said Weinstein, her thesis adviser.

Weinstein describes Nagshineh’s accomplishments as “a testament to a fantastic work ethic and commitment” and is inspirational to younger students at Rochester and Dubai.

“The collaboration between RIT Dubai/Rochester has continued,” he said. “Another paper was submitted a few weeks ago with Mohamed Samaha and Nate Barlow (RIT associate professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics) as co-authors, as well as Cade Reinberger, a younger Ph.D. student in my research group.”

Mathematical modeling is one of RIT’s newer Ph.D. degree programs, and Nagshineh is among its earliest graduates. The program has doubled in size since it began accepting students in 2017, Slusarski said. This past fall, the mathematical modeling program had 35 students, with two graduating this year.

Altogether, RIT has 13 Ph.D. degree programs currently enrolling 438 students, with computing and information sciences accounting for the largest with 117 students. RIT’s other Ph.D. programs include astrophysical sciences and technology , biomedical and chemical engineering , business administration , color science , electrical and computer engineering, imaging science , mechanical and industrial engineering , microsystems engineering , and sustainability .

New programs in cognitive science and physics will launch in the fall.

The growth in RIT graduate education—with more than 3,000 master’s and doctoral students—reflects a demographic change in the student population, Slusarski said. “We have a higher percentage of women in the graduate programs than we have for RIT undergraduate programs.”

RIT’s graduate programs enroll 42 percent women, according to Christie Leone , assistant dean for the Graduate School.

Nagshineh, who also holds an MS in electrical engineering from RIT Dubai, welcomes her role as a mentor to other women students on both campuses.

“As a young woman in an Arabic country, the power of women is often underestimated and undervalued, and I hope to serve as a role model to female students, especially those that question their path,” Nagshineh said.

She plans to continue in her career as a professor and a researcher. “I would like to pursue a research program where I can advise my own students and teach them more deeply.”

Supporting transdisciplinary STEAM practices: Integrating architectural modelling into mathematics education through a cross-cultural dynamic lesson plan (DLP) tool

Article sidebar, main article content.

This paper proposes a cross-cultural dynamic lesson plan (DLP) tool that could be adopted by teachers across different cultures to implement STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) education practices. An abundance of well-developed lesson plans is available to teachers on numerous Internet sites, but the cultural diversity of such lesson plans – i.e., difficulty to customize for alignment with local curriculum and lesson plan requirements, make it difficult for teachers to utilize and share these resources – due to the lack of flexible customizations for orientation with local curriculum and lesson plan requirements. This study suggests an approach to overcome such challenges by presenting the DLP tool to assist teachers’ STEAM teaching practices using GeoGebra for learning content elaboration. Our proposed transdisciplinary STEAM practice uses architecture as a real-life example that connects mathematics learning to culture and history through mathematical modelling. This study follows a design-based research approach to develop and implement DLP tool and its related design heuristic. Moreover, the study is examining how the DLP tool can be utilized with teachers cross-culturally and how it could support teachers in professional development workshops to design transdisciplinary STEAM lesson plans. The qualitative analysis of teachers’ artefacts developed during these workshops demonstrated the versatility of DLP tool to address cultural diversity in lesson planning through these STEAM practices applications. The emerging themes from this study show that regardless of participants’ cultures, using the DLP tool to implement transdisciplinary STEAM practices could support teachers in developing operational and shareable lesson plans.
